Two days of vest
So I’ve had this Hungarian/Gujju vest in my closet for about 12 years and always avoid wearing it because I don’t want to spoil it. I love the colours, of course, and the fact that it’s short and slightly stiff. I wear it over my amethyst maxi in the summer, but decided to try it out with pants twice in two weeks.
Sometime last week:
Rainy day that required something that would dry fast but keep me warm and not become transparent when wet.
Jeans: Free ink blue skinny jeans by Victoria Beckham. These are the only ones that tuck into my gumboots conviniently and I’m trying to wear them out so that I can cast them away sans guilt.
Top: Grass green basic from Fox bought on sale for it’s colour. Don’t like it so much now and wish I had a blue corduroy pinafore to wear over it.
Vest (Or a bundi): From my mother’s youth. She wore it in the ’80s over straight silk kurtas.
Accessories: A G-Shock watch and cheery gumboots with red birdie.
This week
Still raining.
Top: Ink blue deep neck top with loose, balloon sleeves that stop just above the elbow from Cotton World.
Pants: Charcoal wool blend slacks from Hang Ten bought in 2002. These fall great but have no pockets or a waistband, so don’t find much favour.
Accessories: A men’s formal watch from Titan (shown in top picture) and medium-sized thin silver hoops in the ear. I wore the gumboots to work and then changed into my bondage chaps. In hindsight, I should have worn a large silver ring and some kajal.
